EPS

EPS, Engagement Managers, and staff from around the system have been spending this month finalizing several of their Round 1 Project Teams. Part of the process this month has been looking at the timeline for the next round. We want to make sure budget funds are available for the next group before recruiting and launching those teams and ensure that staff can focus on Summer Reading during this busy time of year. To maintain the quality of our collective work, we’d like to add an extra 6 weeks to prepare for launching Round 2.

Thank you so much for the hard work and dedication you brought to a successful Summer Reading this year and to the engagement-related tasks you complete daily.  We acknowledge the pause was a source of frustration and confusion and we want to thank you so much for your patience as we developed the tools needed to provide a view of what our community needs.  The work with our Community Needs Assessment (CNA) will help us create more responsive programming i
